Did he cut himself for this video?Yes, I know, for science. but it hurt so much.

This seems very useful for aid workers, or field medics, where time is short and you don’t have the equipment of a hospital nearby.
For regular situations, I think a regular stich is still better, because it allows for precise closure of the wound, which lowers the chance of a scar remaining. Not to mention there are deeper cuts that only special stiches can close properly.

It seems like it would irritate the wound. Those plastic ridges would not feel good against a raw wound.

It’s great on a straight knife wound, but I think I have sutured more zig zaggedy wounds than I have perfectly straight.

That doesn’t look closed… Just give me some superglue and I’ll use the “pinch and hold” method. Far more effective and without the ridiculous markup.

It’s not that new though, similar methods sometimes used in wilderness during hikes or such. My friend helped me stich my foot with something similar more than 10 years ago, but it’s cool and good that technology advances in that.

Not nearly as good as I could do with a few sutures. I guess it’s OK if you wanna look tough and have a real thick scar

Hope I never need them but they would be better than the other way
This is a freaking great idea!!
Great…. Wick won’t need to worry about the clock.
Fun fact: real-life [medi-gel](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vetigel) was invented more than a decade ago but has only been approved for veterinary use.
